Stunning!
What a beautiful dress. I bought this for my upcoming wedding and it is absolutely stunning. The picture online does not do this dress justice. Easy to get on and off and appears to be easy to hem. Nicely form fitting. I usually wear a size 10 and it was true to size.
Beautiful dress with a few caveats
This is a beautiful dress. It's extremely comfortable and very flattering, but a few notes: (1) it's pretty sheer so you definitely need a slip under it (2) if you've got a bigger chest, the v neckline is cut very low and so you'll be displaying a lot of cleavage (3) as other reviewers have mentioned, there are iridescent sequins throughout the dress (4) there's no zipper, you have to pull it over your head, so i worry that I'll get makeup on it. But otherwise, it's a beautiful dress. Very flattering. In terms of sizing, I ordered 1 size up from my usual, and it fit well.
It's beautiful
I bought this for my up and coming wedding in febuary by the bay!! The dress was like it was made for me. I slipped it over my head and it is just gorgeous!!! I am 5'7 and wear a size 14 and it needs no alterations. It is elegant, sultry, yet classy! I am 51 years old and marrying the love of my life. Honestly I feel like they made it for me. In case it is chilly I also ordered an ivory chiffon wrap for the wedding, also sold on macys.com. They look perfect together!! I cannot be happier about this very beautiful dress! I am having an informal wedding and yet I know with this dress I will feel very special!
Love this dress
I love this dress! It will be perfect for my beach wedding in February! The dress is prettier in person than on the picture. It fits perfect and I don't need any alterations. I ordered a size 4 and the dress fits nicely and accents my curves very well (I'm very petite and not curvy at all). I did purchase a size 6 and that one fit well too but doesn't hug my curves the way the size 4 does. I am so happy now that I have a very pretty, light weight dress for my beach wedding. The length is perfect as well. I can go barefoot or wear sandals with a heel.
Gorgeous!
The picture here doesn't do this dress justice. Oh my gosh...it is so lovely. I just received it less than an hour ago and it's just simply gorgeous. It's timeless and elegant and perfect for the most simple wedding to a beautiful beach wedding. I'm short at 5'3" and had to order a 16 because I have a large bust. I don't wear dresses because my bust is large and I have a wide upper back and broad shoulders so I tend to have trouble fitting those areas. I would normally wear a 10 for the waist but I opted for the larger size to accommodate my larger upper areas. So happy this is a zipperless dress and it goes on smoothly over your head. It hugs in all the right places yet leaves room for a flowy, is that even a word, feel. I will not be wearing this dress for another 3 months and I still am not done shaping up for my big day. I have confidence that it will still fit the same on my special day. Also, being on the short side I love the length of this dress. It is not too long for someone my height. It actually is perfect for going barefoot or wearing heels. If I were having a beach wedding you would see my toes peeking out from underneath as I walk. I will be wearing almost 5" heels so I'm sure that it won't be touching the ground at all. Overall, it is just absolutely a stunning dress. I love the vintage look and pearlescent shimmer it has with the sequins, not overdone..just enough.The lace overlays hide any imperfections and I haven't noticed it being too sheer as other reviews have stated. Oh..on a side note, if you are big busted and don't feel comfortable showing cleavage then this dress may not be for you. I'm sure you could pin it if you'd like but it isn't too sexy...it's a classic kind of sexy.
Excellent Purchase
I thought before purchasing I might need alterations. Pleasant surprise when trying on no alterations needed. The gown fit perfectly!
Meets expectations
I was hoping this dress was available in store but I went ahead and ordered it based on the good reviews. I figured I could return it if it didn't work out. I agree with the other reviews that the beading is quite sparkly but the only real complaint I have is that I can already see a few little threads popping out that need to be snipped. Overall this dress was everything I could have asked for though and will definitely be keeping it. Very flattering and great quality for the price!
Flattering and beautiful
I was honestly surprised by how much I love this dress. It's incredibly flattering, comfortable (stretchy), and high-quality. This will be perfect for my outdoor summer wedding. I'm 5'5" and it's the perfect length for flats or short heels.
